MSA Safety
MSA Safety was founded as Mine Safety Appliances Company in 1914 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, originally addressing the dangerous conditions in American coal mines. The company pioneered self-contained breathing apparatus and gas detection equipment, and now operates manufacturing facilities across the United States including plants in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Texas. MSA safety equipment is tagged for the compliance programs it serves: ANSI Z89.1, OSHA 1910.134, ANSI Z359, and OSHA 1910.146 confined-space work.
Head protection (V-Gard, Skullgard, Comfo-Cap)
The V-Gard hard hat line is the MSA flagship for ANSI Z89.1-compliant industrial and construction head protection, available in cap and full-brim configurations with the Fas-Trac III suspension and a wide color range for crew identification. Skullgard and Comfo-Cap helmet lines add high-heat protection for foundry, steel mill, and high-temperature industrial environments. The hard hat materials guide walks through HDPE versus phenolic shell selection. Browse our hard hats collection for the MSA SKUs we stock.
Respiratory protection
MSA respiratory protection includes full-facepiece and half-mask air-purifying respirators with NIOSH certification, designed for use under OSHA 1910.134 respiratory protection programs. The respirator fit-testing and medical evaluation guide covers the program steps that wrap around respirator selection. Browse our respirators collection for the MSA SKUs we stock.
Fall protection, gas detection, and emergency response
MSA fall protection covers full-body harnesses, self-retracting lifelines, and lanyards meeting ANSI Z359. The gas detection portfolio covers portable and fixed monitoring systems plus the breathing apparatus that originated the company. The Lunar firefighting helmet line serves fire-service operations governed by NFPA 101, and the broader catalog includes eyewash equipment meeting ANSI Z358.1. Browse our fall protection, gas detectors, and flood, fire, and gas response collections. The full MSA catalog is at us.msasafety.com.
